Re: MAGPUL Dynamics Basic LE Sniper Course

All the LEO's out there, we've got a few slots left for this course. Yeah, I know the weather isn't going to be pretty that time of year but it's still going to be a great course. For the WA state guys, this course WILL be approved by WA CJTC. They haven't held a basic sniper course in over 2 years, so we're filling that gap. If you've got any questions or are on the fence, feel free to drop me a line any time.

Cheers
 
Re: MAGPUL Dynamics Basic LE Sniper Course

Just saw this. I will not be able to attend this time around, but am very interested in attending any future classes I can escape from work to attend. Is this class going to be offered again, or is it a one time shot?
